As soon as I heard you mentioning Night Shift, I knew this was some serious stuff

[@ModellingWeekly]

😂😂

[@sandtable8091]

Well done. It seems to be a very nice kit. I've found the same kind of tricky manoeuvre with rounded head lights using tweezers. Now I use a matchstick with a small bit of blutak on the end. Does the job without possibility of pinging the part into the carpet. Good video.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Glad you liked it, and thanks for the tip! Very helpful 👍

[@josecesar5952]

Good painting and weathering, quite realistic.

[@lnerj69]

Great job on the model, just one thing, what you call the exhausts are actually the air lines into the engine from the air cleaner boxes. The exhaust actually came out from the over hang that the auxiliary fuel tank is on.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Right. I was so confused when building the kit, couldn't find an exhaust outlet anywhere. I did think that overhang could be it, but I didn't trust myself!

[@hamishsheinkels1478]

That’s a cool looking kit. Hope to see more stuff like this.

[@ModellingWeekly]

:D thanks! It's definitely a fun change from Airfix and the like.

[@hamishsheinkels1478]

@@ModellingWeekly yeah. It seems like a good company as well

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Beautifully work and lovely detailing. Great to see

[@ModellingWeekly]

Many thanks :D

[@curtmcw5963]

Really nicely done, I’ve built a couple IBG aircraft and was pleasantly surprised with how well they go together.

[@ModellingWeekly]

That's very encouraging, I Have one of their Pzl 37 kits, so that should be good!

[@havaski1277]

Looks really good. If you want to build another IBG kit I can recommend their 75MM Zrinyi assault gun kit.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Thanks! I'll definitely have a look at that. I have their pzl 37 in the stash as well

[@michaelvalenzuela2528]

Any day your Tweezers don't launch the small part into another Dimension is a good day, also excellent job.👍👍

[@ModellingWeekly]

Very true haha!! Thank you 😊

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Hmm.. Why I never seen Your great channel before? Great result! And yes, IBG Models make great kits - highly recommended! ;) All the best for You! ;)

[@ModellingWeekly]

Many thanks man!

[@beaverchicken]

Ha literally just bought the Mk II from these guys, expecting good things! Nice job on the weathering too

[@ModellingWeekly]

Thanks! Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the kit!

[@orbitalair2103]

For maximum frustration get a UM Su-76M or similar. 150 super tiny pieces, non of which line up. Ive put in about 8hrs on 12 wheels and 30pieces of track. Kind of sorry I bought several of these kits, but they are the only people who make a full line of soviet early war vehicles.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Sounds pretty painful!

[@jantimmer5558]

Looks great! Which camera do you use?

[@ModellingWeekly]

SONY A6000 :)

[@BoysOfCinnamonCat]

I think I'm going to get this kit.

[@ModellingWeekly]

Do!! It's a very nice little kit to build!

[@BoysOfCinnamonCat]

@@ModellingWeekly Yes. I think this kit will compliment the metal model I built of this vehicle. The plastic kit has more detail. 👍

[@ModelMinutes]

Kind of puts the airfix cromwell to shame really. Great work bro! edit swapped cromwell for crusader - similar tanks but airfix didnt make a crusader afaik

[@ModellingWeekly]

Thanks! 😄 It's true. I'm finding more and more that the smaller companies are producing better quality kits than the likes of airfix or revell...excluding tamiya of course!

[@ModelMinutes]

@@ModellingWeekly it's crazy

[@rafalgd]

great work, very inspiring

[@ModellingWeekly]

😄

[@strikeeaglemodels1588]

Very nice crusader 😊👍🥇

[@ModellingWeekly]

Thanks man!

[@peterkkpoon6546]

I like this model. Any advice on how to get this kit? From Amazon perhaps.

[@ModellingWeekly]

If you are in the UK, it's readily available from a site called Hannants. If you are in the US, I'm afraid I don't think it's easily accessible. In Europe I presume it should be easy to get hold of, given IBG is a polish manufacturer. If all else fails, hannants ships worldwide as far as I'm aware. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

[@johnreed9435]

eBay. Polish companies have great selections

[@mohidh1954]

I haven't seen photoetch on a 1/72 tank before

[@ModellingWeekly]

Neither, this was nice to see

[@Player-st4hn]

Why did you put American decals on it? It's a British tank isn't it?

[@ModellingWeekly]

Good question. The allied 5 pointed star was used to identify AFVs of all member nations of the allied expeditionary force during the Normandy invasions
